Memorandum 2018.01: 2020 Census Life-cycle Cost Estimate Executive Summary
Memorandum 2018.01: 2020 Census Life-cycle Cost Estimate Executive Summary
Memorandum 2018.01
This memorandum documents the release of the executive summary of the 2020 Census Lifecycle Cost Estimate (LCCE), which is intended to provide the public with a high-level overview of the November 2017 version of 2020 Census LCCE, the supporting 2020 Census LCCE Basis of Estimate (BoE), and related documentation artifacts. The executive summary does not contain a detailed breakout of the costs, assumptions, etc. Detailed documentation of the 2020 Census LCCE is contained in the BoE and its accompanying suite of artifacts. This formal documentation of the cost estimate is not published for the general public, but rather is intended for official government use, including by auditors and oversight bodies.
